dc.description.abstract | Background:
Chronic respiratory conditions are major causes of mortality
and morbidity. Children with chronic health conditions have i
ncreased
morbidity associated with their physical, emotional, and gen
eral well-being. Acute respiratory exacerbations (AREs) are com
mon
in children with chronic respiratory disease, often requirin
g admission to hospital. Reducing the frequency of AREs and recu
rrent
hospitalisations is therefore an important goal in the indi
vidual and public health management of chronic respiratory i
llnesses in
children. Discharge planning is used to decide what a person nee
ds for transition from one level of care to another and is usual
ly
considered in the context of discharge from hospital to the home
. Discharge planning from hospital for ongoing management of
an
illness has historically been referral to a general practitio
ner or allied health professional or self management by the i
ndividual and their
family with limited communication between the hospital and pa
tient once discharged. Effective discharge planning can decrease
the
risk of recurrent AREs requiring medical care. An individual cas
eworker-assigned discharge plan may further decrease exacerba
tions.
Objectives:
To evaluate the efficacy of individual caseworker-assigned disch
arge plans, as compared to non-caseworker-assigned plans, in pr
eventing
hospitalisation for AREs in children with chronic lung diseas
es such as asthma and bronchiectasis.
Search methods
We searched the Cochrane Airways Group Specialised Register of
Trials, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (C
EN-
TRAL), MEDLINE, Embase, trials registries, and reference lis
ts of articles. The latest searches were undertaken in Novembe
r 2017.
Selection criteria:
All randomised controlled trials comparing individual casewo
rker-assigned discharge planning compared to traditional dis
charge-
planning approaches (including self management), and their eff
ectiveness in reducing the subsequent need for emergency care fo
r
AREs (hospital admissions, emergency department visits, and
/or unscheduled general practitioner visits) in children hosp
italised with
an acute exacerbation of chronic respiratory disease. We exclud
ed studies that included children with cystic fibrosis. | |
